We study a coordination game among agents on a network, who choose whether or not to take an action in an uncertain … coordination set if and only if the network is balanced, i.e., the average degree of each subnetwork is no larger than the average … degree of the network. Comparative statics exercises as well as welfare properties are investigated. In particular, we show …

Most network games assume that the best response of a player is a linear function of the actions of her neighbors … network models in the existing literature, including those with nonlinear best responses, can be transformed into games with … produce a unified framework that provides conditions for existence and uniqueness of equilibrium for most network games with …

We provide an overview and synthesis of the literatures analyzing games in which players are connected via a network … structure. We discuss, in particular, the impact of the structure of the network on individuals' behaviors. We focus on game …

) embedded in a network have to decide how much effort they exert in some activity (say education). We show that the more central … minority agents are in the social network, the more they assimilate to the majority culture. We also show that denser networks … tend to favor assimilation so that, for example, it is easier to assimilate in a complete network than in a star …
